Many children are raised with gender stereotypes. Girls get “girl toys”, boys get “boys toys”, generally the stereotype is being reinforced by the parents, just in how they’re treated and the gifts they’re given. So I'm guessing it might be the easiest way to explain when they realized they were "different".
